Horizon Rock Bands AU: Rock Breakers

The second (and maybe last?) band of the AU that’s been leaving no place for any other thoughts in my mind. Jem and the Holograms inspired. Ereloy implied 🧡✨

The band

The original leader of the group was Ersa, who started forming Rock Breakers with her brother Erend. However, after a tragedy left her unable to continue being part of the band, the Vanguard siblings decided that Erend should carry on with the group's formation. After what had happened, their mission was more critical than ever: to bring down Nemesis, its members, and their unfair musical dominance.

Avad, a wealthy representative with whom Ersa had a very close relationship, helped Erend in the search for other members who shared their common goal. That's how Varl, Kotallo, Drakka, and Nil joined the band, shaping the unique and diverse style that Rock Breakers is known for. Their blend of romantic and heavy sound has earned them a loyal fanbase, though, thanks to Nemesis' schemes, they've never managed to win The Proving. During the competition, they met Alpha Prime and came to the conclusion that both bands needed to support each other to defeat the evil group. Ersa became Alpha Prime's manager, ensuring that no one—not even they—would get in her little brother's way.

With Avad as their manager, Rock Breakers dominates their tour, which also serves as training for the competition. They don't have the help of any magical computers to make their shows unforgettable, but they pull it off with their creative use of fire and fireworks.

Character bios under the cut

Erend

A deep voice and deep feelings—no wonder Erend is the lead singer and main songwriter of Rock Breakers. He always performs accompanied by his guitar ‘Hammer’, though it’s rarely the same one at each show, as he gets so excited in playing ‘Weird Space Ball’ that he ends up smashing it against the stage. He started competing in music contests for the love of music, but a tragedy changed his purpose: his sister Ersa, with whom he was originally going to form the band, went deaf because of their former boss, Dervahl, who is now a member of the antagonist band Nemesis. Since then, he has devoted himself entirely to destroying that band, just as he smashes his guitars.

With this common goal, it’s no surprise that he’s gotten along well with Alpha Prime since meeting them, though that encounter didn’t just gain him allies—it also changed his heart forever, as he fell head over heels for Aloy the moment he saw her. Since then, nearly all his lyrics have been about her, though Aloy seems to be the only one who hasn’t noticed. He doesn’t hold out much hope that someone as capable and beautiful as her would be interested in him, even though the two minutes she promised him keep becoming longer and longer.

Varl

Varl met Erend at a comic con, and they instantly became friends. Coming from a strict upbringing where music had no place, he learned to play his bass, ‘Seeker,‘ in just a week, solely to join the band and experience the freedom of performing on stage. He’s always ready to carry out any plan that helps defeat Nemesis, even those that require sacrificing his own interests and beliefs. He fell for Zo, a member of Alpha Prime, the moment he met her, and unlike his friend, he did something about it—they´ve been together since, and they´re not subtle about it.

Kotallo

The unstoppable rhythm of his drum set, ‘Bulwark,‘ is unmistakable. Kotallo has been playing it his entire life, and not even the sudden loss of an arm has slowed him down—he continues to captivate the crowd with every beat. He was once a member of the band "The Ten," where he played alongside Regalla, until she defected to join Nemesis after getting Kotallo involved in a street fight that ultimately cost him his arm. Kotallo joined Rock Breakers to get a shot at revenge against his former bandmate and to prove that no matter how she tries to weaken him, he’ll always be a better musician and more honorable than her.

Drakka

He comes from barren lands, though that doesn’t reflect his character at all. Playful and cheeky, his personality shines through in his backing vocals and in the way he plays his ‘Yarra.‘ Every key he presses makes the crowd roar louder, and it ensures he’s never alone after a concert. But his purpose is more serious than it seems: to destroy the reputation of the companies owned by Nemesis members so they stop diverting water from his town for their own gain. Who says you can’t have fun while pursuing the greater good?

Nil

Little is known about his past, but it’s rumored that Nil is searching for redemption. His background is so enigmatic that even the other band members don’t quite remember how or when he became part of the group. Always mysterious, he used to cover his face during performances until he revealed it at the last concert, flashing that intense, mischievous gaze that drove the crowd wild. He found the perfect "Partner" in his guitar, which makes him stand out on stage with its unmistakable sound and with which he always puts on a good show.

Thank you for reading!!

Reposting an oldie cause why not? I do have some more of Adventures of Aloy and Beta mini comic things I want to make, just need the time and energy to make them which I might have the time to soon but we’ll see. But for now I’ll finish up the Harpy AU and just doodle around

[horizontwinflames]

Manga-ish art style practice 1/?

Testing out mostly the grayscale painting for the upcoming comics about this AU. Even though I'm reviving my manga drawing style, the comics will be left to right reading.

What are Beta and Isaac looking for? Shenanigan material, possibly.

[meep-m33p]

Here's a sketch of what I imagine Aloy would look like in her early 50s! This concept for older Aloy is for a time travel themed Horizon fic I'm writing called Wrong Place, Wrong Time on AO3. And for the sake of clearing confusion with her talking to her younger self, she uses the nickname "Red" given to her by the Oseram :)

Those are her vibes

The Harpy and The Hawk Chapter 1: Attacks at Meridian “This is Meridian, a great city filled with the best spices, best food, and home of the great Sun King Avad…the only problems are the pests…you see, a lot of places have rats, foxes, boars…but our issue…..Harpies.” “My name is Talanah Khane Padish, and I’m a hunter…well..not the best hunter according to people in the lodge, I have yet to kill a Harpy. Father says if I do, I’ll become Sunhawk. Recently there have been sitings of a rare Harpy, wings red like blood, fiery hair, and an ear piercing screechy roar. We call it the Red Harpy. No one in the whole city has ever brought one down. That’s why I’m going to be the first, I’ll become Sunhawk for when I bring in those wings.” Talanah was told to stay inside this hunt, but of course the stubborn young hunter wasn’t going to listen. She made an invention that launched bolas into the sky, “RED HARPY!” A guard yelled, Good! this was her chance to go test out her new invention. She ran up a hill, set up her weapon, and waited in silence. She heard screeches and roars, suddenly a fire arrow blasted an outpost nearby, Talanah took her shot. The blast from the invention threw her back, she got up to look and she heard a loud roar. “I hit her?….YES I HIT HER! Talanah cheered, she headed for the kings throne immediately to tell him. Once she arrived, she saw her father with him as well. “Sun King Avad!…I..I shot down a Red Harpy!..I…uh oh” Talanah said as she realized her father was there as well, “You were told to stay inside Talanah, and you disobeyed me!” Her father said. “But…I shot down a Red Harpy! I’m not playing games with you, it went down near the spire!…” Talanah spoke but was quickly interrupted by her father “STOP! You do what you are told is that understood? We can’t keep doing this Talanah, You just aren’t strong enough to hunt yet” he sighed “Talanah, May me and your father speak in private?” Avad asked softly. “Yes, your majesty”. She walked down the stairs and headed to elevator. She was going to look for the Harpy and prove that she is strong enough to hunt, especially Ahsis, that big jerk definitely needed an ego check, these were some of the thoughts that went through her head as she headed into the forest. Meanwhile, Talanah’s father Talavad and other members of the hunters lodge came in to have a meeting on what to do about these Harpy attacks. He suggested finding out where their nest is, as people in Meridian can’t afford to lose more food to these monsters. “Either we finish them, or they’ll finish us!” Talavad said proudly, all the hunters in the lodge cheered, especially Ahsis who decided to let his mouth run again. “Bet you wish your daughter was as strong as me, I’ll kill a thousand Harpies before she gets the chance to kill one” Ahsis laughed. “Ahsis, my daughter just needs more time, she’ll become a great fighter like the rest of us, you don’t become a great hunter overnight. She’ll be ready soon…maybe even find the whole nest before any of us do” Talavad said. “HA! Like that little runt would find all the Harpies, what’s next? She’ll own the lodge too?” Ahsis kept pushing then Talavad finally told him to stop. “That’s enough Ahsis…now if you’ll excuse me, I have a lodge to run” Talavad said. He then sighed and thought about what to do for Talanah. “What am I going to do with that girl?” He asked himself.

Ligan walked by and put his hand on Talavad’s shoulder. “ Ligan I know what you’re—“ Talavad said before being cut off. “ She’s gone Talavad” Ligan said, “ What?!….but..where—?” Talavad asked, “ She is in search of the Harpy sir, she’s positive she caught her.” Ligan said. “ We’ll see about that” Talavad said.

Annnddd that’s chapter 1, hope you like it :D

The writing in chapter 2 is finished, I’m just waiting for an artist to finish a piece that was claimed.
